So, a few weeks back my wife was telling me about this new term being used around her place of employment; mostly by a younger generation. I can only believe it is some form of slang and not a new business term, as this saying is "hot mess". Not exactly up there with "out of the box", "quick win" or "reach out". Here, for more clarity, let me use this new term in a sentence for you: "This project is a hot mess." I'm guessing the term refers to something being a complete disaster, though it doesn't necessarily conjure up that image when you hear it. Which I did, today on a phone call. One of our Credit Instructors used "it's a hot mess" in reference to something being out of control or disorganized. Thus, apparently the term has multiple definitions, which is good to know. If you're really curious, you can find a comprehensive list of definitions here.
